The Crystal Chandelier reflected the Seven-Colored Halo in Luna's laughter, while Aelia's Star Moon Hairpin tinkled as it fell onto the Persian Carpet.
As Qin Si entered, holding Chen Lu, they stumbled upon the Infant Girl sprawled across her lady's lap, drawing distorted butterflies in a Doodle Book with fingers stained by milk.
"Aunt Cessy, look!" Luna deliberately kicked the book to the ground, the yellowed pages unfolding in the morning light—number 23 of Emerald Alley prominently displayed within the butterfly's wings, alongside a crooked drawing of Leonard and the Red Skirt Woman embracing in the Moonlight Rose Garden.
The Head Maid's trembling hand knocked over a Silver Tray, causing Chen Lu to spill a shattered moon onto the carpet.
When Aelia picked up the drawing paper, her wrist brushed against the corner of the Rosewood Table, grinding it down to powder.
Memories preserved by magic for twenty years suddenly flowed backward: Leonard always claimed he needed to patrol the barrier on full moon nights, yet his robe was stained with an unfamiliar violet fragrance.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si steadied the staggering Aelia, watching as those Moonlight Roses and Centaurea Specimens were shredded by the Star Chain and fell like petals.
Seizing the moment, Luna stuffed a piece of paper adorned with a Prophecy Bird into Qin Si's apron, mimicking a baby’s voice: "Emerald Alley... butterfly Fei Fei..."
When Aelia appeared wrapped in her Starlight Robe at the East Tower, Leonard was busy modifying the Defensive Array with Dragon Blood.
His fingertip, marked by a crimson light spot, was suddenly crushed by the Star Chain. He looked up to find his wife's pale face—her green eyes, usually filled with tenderness, now glistened with ice spikes; her neck bore bloodstains from the Puppet Curse Seal that had transformed into a Star Chain.
"The Moonlight Rose you gave me twenty-three years ago," Aelia waved her wand as frost climbed along the wall to reveal the doorplate of Emerald Alley. "Was it enchanted with the same magic to plant a garden of barbed crimson roses for that woman?"
Leonard's defense caught in his throat; he attempted to reach for his wife's shoulder but was met with pain from Ailina's Burn inflicted by the Star Chain.
Suddenly, Luna's Doodle Book flew from Qin Si's arms and flipped open to the page depicting the Prophecy Bird spreading its wings—within the window lattice pattern of Emerald Alley 23, there was clearly engraved the emblem of the Glorious Demon Fortress’s First Generation.
"Father said that the Defensive Nexus must be activated using a legitimate bloodline," Aelia's Star Moon Hairpin suddenly pierced her fingertip. A Blood Pearl formed midair into a Family Tree Totem. "That woman's child... just awakened their Dragonheart Blade Spirit this year?"
The entire castle suddenly trembled violently, and my brother's wheelchair crashed through the door of the library amidst a magical backlash.
Luna seized the opportunity to press her small, milk-stained hand against his knee, which was covered in thunder patterns. The unique pure magic of the infant temporarily suppressed the raging thunderstorm blood within him.
"Brother, look!" Qin Si rushed in, holding the Prophecy Bird and Doodle Book. The emerald lines reformed in the lightning, "The talisman Luna drew looks just like the curse array you saw back in the Elven Sanctuary!"
The young man in the wheelchair shook violently.
He trembled as he retrieved the long-sealed Spirit Contract from Ankeli. A yellowed page contained an emerald feather that suddenly resonated with Luna's doodle.
When the baby's small hand unintentionally struck the most turbulent acupoint of his thunderstorm blood, he felt magic flowing smoothly through his meridians for the first time in twenty years.
"Third Brother!
Bring me my Star Chart Device!" My brother's eyes rekindled with a silver moon-like glow. Elven script emerged on the wheelchair armrest. "The position where Luna struck... so this is what Elder Dark Elf meant by 'going against the current'..."
Meanwhile, at the top of the West Tower, Second Brother leaned against a frozen Moonlight Rose bush.
He caressed the sapphire pocket watch gifted by his dear friend years ago, noticing new cracks seeping with a strange purple mist on its back.
A magic fluctuation from the attic caught his attention, and he turned to see outlines of spirit wings faintly emerging from the lightning swirling around his brother's wheelchair.
The gears of the pocket watch suddenly spun wildly, slicing his finger and drawing blood.
Second Brother stared blankly at the blood pearl that fell onto the ice spikes. The whispers he had heard years ago on that stormy night about the "Truth of Magic Dilemma" suddenly echoed in his ears once more.
The Ice Rose atop the West Tower shimmered with a ghostly blue light under the moonlight, while the Blood Pearl seeping from Second Brother's fingertip coalesced into a strange amethyst at the tips of the Ice Spikes.
The Pocket Watch Gear emitted a harsh metallic grinding sound, and from the cracks on the back of the dial, the face of his dear friend Aiden emerged—on that stormy night seven years ago, it was this very face that had lured him into signing the Blood Pact amidst the lightning's allure.
"What you think is a Magic Dilemma..." The shadow of Zi Wu whispered in his ear, its voice identical to what he remembered, "is actually an abyss capable of devouring Starlight Power..."
Suddenly, Luna's Doodle Book flew out from the library window, its Milk Stain pattern of the Prophecy Bird landing perfectly atop the Ice Rose bush.
The sound of a baby's laughter floated on the night breeze, and Second Brother's pupils dilated—what the bird in the painting held in its beak, an Emerald Color Dark Purple Thread, was eerily reminiscent of the Curse that had entangled him when Aiden gifted him the Pocket Watch years ago.
"So you had already hidden the key to breaking the curse here." Second Brother traced Luna's Doodle with his bloodied finger, and the residual Pure Magic from the baby instantly pierced through Zi Wu.
The frozen rose suddenly bloomed, revealing fragments of a Star Pattern hidden within its core. That was the Star Badge he had received ten years ago during his graduation ceremony at the Magic Tower.
From the direction of the library came the chanting of his elder brother Qing Yue, while Spirit Wings swept past Xu Ying over West Tower and Castle Spire.
Second Brother tightened his grip on the re-illuminated badge; his right hand, eroded by Curse for years, could once again gather Xing Hui. "Luna, even you, this little baby, dare to break through..." He tore off his violet-embroidered cuff and tossed it into the ice thicket, crushing amethyst under his military boots. "How can I continue to be a trapped beast?"
The sudden eruption of Longyin from the East Side Training Ground interrupted his murmurs.
Brother San stared blankly at the target he had accidentally shattered, remnants of Golden Magic Pattern fading from his palm.
Three hours ago, as Luna crawled over the training mat, her chubby little hand had pressed against the array he was halfway through drawing. Now those crooked Milk Stain marks were automatically completing the missing runes.
"This is... true talent?" He trembled as he opened the Magic Pattern Compendium that had been tossed into a corner. The baby's Tooth Mark was perfectly imprinted on the chapter titled "Mirror Reversal."
In the dim light of the room, Leonard's Last Night loomed before him. "It's a pity you always break down the Composite Magic Pattern into its basic elements..."
Luna's small, jam-stained handprints suddenly glowed on the Yellowed Pages. Brother San abruptly became aware of something, grabbing the Feather Pen and quickly sketching in the air.
What originally required a Sevenfold Spell to layer the Defensive Formation now formed automatically with the subtle tremor of his Fingertip, as the Liujin Magic Pattern flowed under the moonlight, mirroring the curve of an Infant Toothprint.
"I was wrong... completely wrong..." He frantically dug out a dusty Calculation Paper. Amidst the disarray of a Draft from when a baby crawled, a Coordinate Point stained with Milk Stain aligned perfectly with the Formation Core he had just completed.
He tore off his Training Robe and tossed it into the air; for the first time in twenty years, he unleashed a complete Magic Vortex that shredded the Cloth into stardust.
Lucius's hand trembled slightly as he grasped the railing of the Spiral Staircase.
Just as he retrieved the sealed First Generation Fortress Lord's Journal from the basement, he saw Second Brother rushing through the corridor, enveloped by a Starlight Storm. Brother San's Magic Vortex made the Stained Glass of the East Tower hum ominously.
The servants whispered that "the lady has sealed off Emerald Alley," while Father's presence was being suppressed by some barrier on the Astrology Platform.
As he turned a corner, a mirror suddenly reflected Qin Si holding Luna, who was stamping her ink-stained little feet onto the cover of the Spirit Contract.
Lucius watched as the unintentional marks left by the baby overlapped with the Forbidden Formation on Shou Zha, a shiver running down his spine—how many secrets to rewrite Destiny did this sister, who couldn't even speak, still hold?
"Third Young Master Lucius, did you hear?" The Old Gardener tapped his broomstick against the Ground, and Lucius finally noticed that the castle's foundation was trembling slightly.
The Star Chain Barrier set by Mother flickered in and out of sight in the night, while in the Floor Tile Gap where his elder brother's Wheelchair had rolled over, Spirit Vines that had lain dormant for years were quietly pushing out new sprouts.
Suddenly, the aged Blood Wine in the Cellar began to ferment en masse, and an Explosive Sound from an Oak Barrel startled a Night Owl resting atop the tower.
As the first wisp of morning mist carrying the Spirit Flower Fragrance swept over the city walls, a deep, ancient mechanism within the Glorious Demon Fortress let out a Roar, awakening all those who Pretended to be asleep.
Moonlight filtered through the Colored Stained Glass Window, casting mottled Light and Shadow on the Marble Floor of the Assembly Hall.
Servants hurried through the Emerald Corridor, holding Silver Candelabras, while the flickering flames in the fireplace intensified the whispers around them.
“There are Spirit Vines growing in the Floor Tile Gap of the library!” a maid's hushed voice echoed in the stairwell. “When Young Master’s Wheelchair rolled over them, those vines even spread out like a carpet.”
The aroma of Blueberry Pie mixed with Cedar Fragrance wafting from the kitchen carried an unusual Magic Fluctuation. The old chef stared at the cinnamon powder automatically arranging itself into a Celestial Chart, while a Silver Spoon stirred up a swirling Thunder Pattern on the surface of Hot Milk.
A Laundry Worker gasped as he shook out the Third Young Master’s cloak; the falling ice crystals condensed on the Ground into a precise Magic Array, instantly warming and fluffing the sheets hanging on the clothesline.
Lucius stood in the shadow of the spiral staircase, watching as the Second Young Master’s Starlight Boots shattered the mirrored corridor.
Within those shattered Lenses, countless Third Young Masters were drawing Liujin Magic Patterns against the void, while the real Third Young Master was at that moment using sword energy to connect twelve moving targets into a glowing Star Chain on the Training Ground.
“The castle is breathing,” Qin Si whispered softly as she passed by with Luna, the Infant Girl’s silver Hair Tips dusted with Spirit Vine Pollen.
As they walked through the Moonlight Rose Garden in the courtyard, those thorny stems once frozen by Aelia suddenly shed their crimson hue, blooming into clusters of Xing Hui flowers resembling Lily of the Valley amidst Luna's laughter.
A tremor from the Cellar startled a Prophecy Bird into flight, and Luna suddenly reached out her small hand to catch a falling feather.
The milk-stained feather transformed into Emerald Powder upon touching her Palm, scattering gently towards the Astrology Platform—where Leonard's suppressed Ailya's Roar echoed, and the Star Chain Barrier flickered uncertainly in the night sky.
“Father is trying to break Mother’s seal again using Bloodline Resonance,” Lucius’s voice came from behind a Pillar. The Amethyst Button on his military uniform sleeve reflected Luna's shining Pupil. “But Emerald Alley’s Coordinate has already been completely covered by Spirit Vines.”
Luna suddenly squirmed in Qin Si's arms, her chubby fingers pointing towards the East Tower.
The Defensive Array, modified by her elder brother, spread along the Castle Outer Wall. In the intertwining Liuguang of Elven Script and Thunder Pattern, the grandeur of Aelia's wedding from twenty years ago faintly emerged—at that time, Leonard held the Moonlight Rose, which now revealed its true form within the array, shedding its disguise to expose the Poison Spike.
"Ah!" Luna let out a short cry, her small hand patting the Family Crest Necklace on Qin Si's chest.
The surface of the emerald-inlaid silver badge showed signs of slow dissolution; the scepter pattern belonging to the Lord was fading, while the Star-Moon Pattern representing the Lady grew increasingly clear.
A crisp sound of shattering crystal echoed from afar, and Leonard's breath suddenly weakened by a third.
Qin Si hurriedly held down the restless infant but failed to notice the fleeting glimmer of Jin Mang in Luna's eyes.
The infant girl bit down on her thumb, swallowing the backlash from the Bloodline Curse with determination.
Spirit Vines coiled around her swaddling, forming a Guardian Array, while leaves glistened with Luna's reflection, revealing the collapsed wall of Emerald Alley No. 23—a place that once held a courtyard filled with crimson roses, now being torn apart by the roots of Starlight Rose.
As the first rays of morning light pierced through the clouds, Luna gazed at the swaying figure on the Astrology Platform.
The Dragon Blood Curse Seal that Leonard attempted to solidify disintegrated under the sunlight. His cloak, embroidered with the Magic Castle Emblem, was blown open by the wind, revealing a gradually dimming Puppet Curse Seal at his heart.
In the tightly clenched fist of the infant lay a petal of Starlight Rose, transforming into a sharp ice crystal.
